A special SAG Members only screening is being held on Monday, February 8 followed by a Q&A with Regina King, Ben McKenzie, Michael Cudlitz, Michael McGrady and Shawn Hatosy.

Dedicated fans of the acclaimed drama series SouthLAnd will finally get to see the series’ six never-before-seen episodes when TNT begins presenting them Tuesday, March 2, at 10 p.m. (ET/PT).  The extraordinary drama series from Warner Bros. Television and Emmy^®-winning producer John Wells (ER, The West Wing) came to TNT in January as the result of a major outpouring of support from critics and fans of the show.

SouthLAnd is a raw, authentic look at police work in Los Angeles.  Unlike many other dramas set in the world of law enforcement, the series places its primary focus on officers, detectives and a gang unit, whose cases sometimes intertwine, showing the tough jobs they face and the triumphs and tragedies that populate their personal lives.  SouthLAnd is shot on location in the streets and neighborhoods of Los Angeles, creating a realistic, natural environment where similar situations often occur in real life.

SouthLAnd’s outstanding ensemble includes Kevin Alejandro (Drive, Ugly Betty), Arija Bareikis (Crossing Jordan), Michael Cudlitz (Band of Brothers, A River Runs Through It), Shawn Hatosy (Alpha Dog), Regina King (Ray, Jerry Maguire), Michael McGrady (The Thin Red Line, Day Break), Ben McKenzie (The O.C.) and Tom Everett Scott (Boiler Room, ER, TNT’s Saved).

The screening is open to active and validated members of the Screen Actors Guild only.

Last, but not least, the final Part 4 of the Q&A videos. This final part is just under 4 minutes, but still worth watching!

Moving on to Part 3, again taking up right where we left off. Oh, for videos longer than 10 minutes on YouTube!

Part 2 of the Q&A Video, picking up where we left off….

Monday night, I was privileged to attend the TNT Fan Appreciation Screening in Hollywood with the Cast and Creator of SouthLAnd. Along with my husband @CasenLACA, good friend and colleague @merlyn, @LatoyaBembry, @MeghanCrookes and @ChristinaWrites, we all were treated to an advanced screening of the unaired Season 2 Episode 1. Sorry, fans – no spoilers! You will all just have to wait until March 2nd to see all the juicy details!

We all had a great time and it was fantastic to meet everyone from Twitter in real life, especially since we had 4 different cities represented, including one person who was completely new to SouthLAnd with us. However, that’s an entirely different post. This post is all about what happened after the screening – the Cast & Creator Q&A!

Hosted by DJ Lisa Foxx from local Los Angeles radio station 104.3 My FM (who can also be heard in San Diego and San Francisco) who hosted the screening at Cinespace, we were treated to Shawn Hatosy, Regina King, Michael McGrady, Chris Chulack (Creator and Primary Director of the show), Tom Everett Scott and Michael Cudlitz answering questions from Lisa, then at the end questions from the audience.

What follows is video that I took in full HD on my Kodak Zi8 pocket camera from beginning to end, broken into 4 parts so it will fit on YouTube. I apologize in advance for any shakiness (my arm got tired a few times) and any side conversations that might pop up during the Q&A. I tried to adjust the volume to make up for the lack of a microphone, since they had issues with the sound system in the theater – luckily we were only in the second row, so it was all captured pretty well.

If you want to view all the videos in full HD, please visit my YouTube channel directly at http://www.youtube.com/southlandtvfans – I will also be posting several shorter videos there, also in HD, that were taken by @merlyn during the Q&A that are close-ups of the various actors and Mr. Chulack while answering questions.

And so, on to the video – Part 1
